The allegorical meaning of the fortune teller begging for water to drink.

There is a rich woman somewhere. One day, while she was having tea and snacks, a beggar came up to her and asked for a glass of water. Hearing this, the rich woman said in disgust:

"Go there and drink some river water!" Then get rid of him and go.

The beggar was obviously thirsty, but there was nothing he could do but stagger away.

There is an ugly cooking girl in the rich man's house who sympathizes with beggars. She couldn't stand the cruelty of the rich woman, so she took out a rice ball from her own rice, filled it with a bowl of water, chased it from behind and gave it to the beggar. The beggar is dying of thirst. He picked up the bowl, gulped down the water, and then held the zongzi in his hand. The beggar was very grateful to the girl, so he gave her a towel as a thank-you gift and walked away slowly.

The next morning, before dawn, the girl who cooked was already up. She wiped her face with a towel, and then went to fetch water to cook, as busy as a bee.

When the sun was shining, the rich woman got up lazily. The girl who cooks delivers meals. She kept looking at the face of the cooking girl, which made the cooking girl feel a little strange.

"Is there something dirty on my face?" The girl said, "Then she took out a towel and wiped her face again.

At that time, the rich woman was frightened to paralysis. She said:

"Oh, what's wrong with your towel? Oh, what happened to your face? " She began to shout loudly.

Hearing the shouts, the maid and the footman came together. When they saw the girl cooking, they all said hesitantly:

"What's going on? Look at her face! "

"How did she completely changed? Become a beauty! "

At this time, the girl who cooked didn't understand what was going on. She quickly borrowed a mirror to have a look and was taken aback. The black monkey's face, which has been laughed at, has turned into a snow-white face and his eyes have become watery. She became a beautiful girl.

"Oh, you can look beautiful by wiping your face with that towel! Lend it to me. " The rich woman grabbed the towel and wiped her face hard. As a result, she didn't change her face and threw the towel to the cook. But the girl wiped her face with it again, but it became more beautiful.

"Where did you get this towel? Tell me! "

"yes. After I gave the beggar water yesterday, he said it was a thank-you gift. " Why? Did the beggar give it to you? Oh, I am so angry. If I knew, I should give him water to drink! "

The rich woman stamped her feet regretfully and ordered the slaves:

"ah! Look around quickly and find the beggar who came to beg for water yesterday! "

All the servants and maids in the rich man's family went out to look for beggars everywhere in that area. In order to make a living, whenever they see beggars, they twist their arms and drag them home. Soon, the rich man's house was crowded with beggars.

"Well, well! There may be a beggar with a precious towel here! Hey, bring all the food and drink! "

The rich woman almost lost her temper. She invited the beggar to eat and drink in a sincere tone. Beggars are very happy, eat and drink, and finally sing and dance. Some of them fall asleep after eating and drinking.

The beggars ate and drank all night, and didn't go out one by one until the next morning. At this time, the rich woman shouted:

"Don't you have a towel? Keep the towel for me! "

Although she said so, these poor beggars wouldn't leave even if someone was wearing a towel. As usual, they went out one by one, but no one handed towels.

The rich woman blushed with anger when she saw the beggar running out. She grabbed the last beggar and shouted gruffly:

"Give me the towel!"

So the beggar had to take out a dirty towel from his pocket and throw it to the rich woman before leaving. "Ha ha! Look, I'm going to get a handkerchief, too! "

The rich woman was so proud that she quickly wiped her face with this towel. Unexpectedly, she turned into a horse and ran to the mountains screaming.
